STATE TAX.
A Decision in Favor of the Grand
Trunk.

Wednesday the case of the State of Maine
VS.. the Grand Trunk road for non-payment
of the State tax on railroads was heard in
the United States Circuit Court before Judge
Webb.
The original writ was served September
18th, 1882, under the State law requiring the
railroad, which is located partly in Maine
and partly out of the State, to pay tax for
the privilege of exercising its franchise in
the State Of Maine, one-half the tax being
payable July LIST, and the other half October
1st. In March of that year the Governor and
Council of Maine assessed this tax at $12,-
095.56 to be paid by the defendant corpora
ton, and duly levied it. But the Grand
Trunk refused to pay it and hence this suit
was brought. So the matter has gone on
since that time, the tax being assessed each
year so levied, and the company declining to
pay, until now the sum which the State
claims has increased to a very large amount
When the case came up before Judge
Webb Wednesday, Hon. Orville d. Baker,
the attorney general, appeared for the State
and Mr. Clarence Hale-in the absence of
Mr.. A. A. Strout, the corporations counsel
for the Grand Trunk. The defense claimed
that the tax was an interference of the State
with foreign commerce, matter with which
Congress alone has right to deal.
The ruling of Judge Weeb was that the
imposition of the tax was invalid, being
regulation of foreign and Interstate COM
merce, and accordingly he rendered judg-
ment for the defendant corporation. The
Attorney General excepted to the ruling and
the case will Immediately go forward to
Washington.
